Stayed for a business trip. Good location/nice view. Property is old but in good order. It is a climb from the parking area to the entrance. Would consider it for a return trip per the view.
The stay was amazing. The only thing I gave one less start was because we asked for a late check out and was contacted by cleaning crew who showed up as well as owners. Rather than relaxing our last few hours, we were stressed on getting packed up and out of there for the next people who were expecting to show up. Not how I wanted to end a relaxing week.
We had a great time fishing from dock in the evenings. Caught lots of fishThe home was nice. The stairs to the door from driveway are rough. There were deer in the backyard which were fun to watch.
This is our 3rd stay in 4 years. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing retreat by the water. One of our favorite parts was the private dock â we had such a peaceful time watching the birds. Thereâs also a fire pit area that made for a really special night under the stars.
We celebrated my husbandâs birthday with the best view of Decatur lake! We love the memories the old cabin brought back to days of party lines, and lake living. The steps were not appropriate for us 70 year olds, but we did it! Loved learning how to use Alexa! Thank you for sharing your very unique cottage with us!
Qusint cottsge, clean . Need to pay attention to labels on the plugs and switches!! They were there it took us a while before we figured it out, that was on us!
We had an amazing stay at this property. It was clean, had a beautiful view of the lake, beautiful sunrises, and the host was very responsive. The pics don't do it justice! I would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful time at this picturesque cabin. Since all of my Mom's children live out of state and she's in assisted living it's difficult to find someplace to have Christmas. We had a fabulous dinner overlooking lake Decatur in our cabin. It was perfect and everyone wants me to book it for next year. Plus, the weather was so wonderful, it's as if we had ordered it. Spent a lot of time outside enjoying the view.
We were in town to celebrate Christmas with family, and, as it turns out, mourn a father-in-law. This place was perfect! There was a great view of the lake, good privacy, and plenty of space. The steps leading to the front door were challenging, but doable. This is a great find!
This home is very unique, likely the best view you will find. The living room is cozy. If you need room for dining, the dining room has a large table with a lake view. The stairs made me annoyed. No lie. They are terrible. However, thereâs nothing the host can do about that. Thereâs an outdoor sitting area on the duck on the lake which was nice to have morning coffee. I would rate this host and home higher if I could. I will stay again.
My boyfriend and I came to be from a series of unfortunate life events. With that also came the heâs from Alabama and I am from Illinois issue. He has an aging father and two daughters in college there and I have an aging mother and decent job here. The reply is still new but we both really want to make it work so although he drove most of the distance we were able to meet up at this beautiful lakeside cabin and had the most wonderful weekend together. We were able to just stay in and cook our own meals while we spent time together. The host was wonderful and welcoming and even let us check in early when I explained my boyfriend would be coming from Alabama and arrive some time before me. We look forward to staying there again in the future.
